Chapter 64: You Have Come

Tang Weiguo jumped out of the car and immediately shouted, "Younger Brother Zeng, save me! It's an emergency!"

Zeng Yi was momentarily stunned by the shout. Before he could react, Tang Weiguo rushed over and grabbed Zeng Yi's arm, "Younger Brother Zeng, you must save me this time!"

At this moment, Tang Xiuquan also got out of the car. He suppressed his motion sickness and took a few steps forward, saying, "Young Master, do you remember me?"

Zeng Yi looked and understood, "Your grandson is sick?"

Tang Xiuquan had a look of deep regret, "I regret not listening to your advice that day. It's all because I was too suspicious and mistook you for a fraudster."

"Let's not talk about that anymore. Where is the child? We should go there right away; saving a life is the priority!" Without waiting for Tang Weiguo to pull him, Zeng Yi walked toward the SUV.

Tang Xiuquan was immensely grateful. He never expected that a young man like Zeng Yi could have such a broad mind. The phrase "saving a life is the priority" showed the demeanor of a renowned doctor. His body trembled with excitement as he personally opened the car door for Zeng Yi, "Young Master, thank you!"

"Don't thank me yet. Wait until the patient is cured, then it will be time to thank me!" Zeng Yi didn't have time for formalities and ducked into the car. The fact that Tang Weiguo had shouted for help indicated the severity of the situation.

Tang Weiguo started the car and immediately stepped on the gas, reversing out of the Health Department compound. The security guards standing at the gate were instantly frightened and scattered in all directions.

At the Provincial People's Hospital, just as Tang Weiguo left, the experts from the Military Medical University arrived.

Shao Haibo led the pediatric doctors of the hospital to the special pediatric ward. They welcomed the experts and hoped to use this opportunity to exchange and consult, improving the pediatric medical level of the Provincial People's Hospital.

Shao Haibo is now the vice president of the Provincial People's Hospital. The former vice president has been promoted to president, while Zhang Renjie was assigned by the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department to serve as the chairman of the trade union of the Health Department. Although his rank is deputy department level, he didn't even become a member of the party committee of the Health Department. Apart from managing trivial matters like distributing soap and needles, he had no real power, which was far from the authority he once held as the president of the Provincial People's Hospital.

Shao Haibo is now full of ambition. The medical field is different from other areas; almost all hospital presidents have come from the position of vice president, with few exceptions. At just over thirty, he has become the vice president of the Nanjiang Provincial People's Hospital, indicating a bright future. A single visit to Fang Nan's home last time saved him twenty years of hard work.

The Military Medical University sent two pediatric experts: an elderly expert with white hair and a middle-aged female officer in her forties, each with several assistants.

After a brief introduction and handshake, the elderly expert said, "Let's skip the formalities and go see the patient first."

Everyone made way, and the elderly expert walked through, entering the ward and greeting Wei Xiangnan.

"Professor Guo, hello. I didn't expect to trouble you!" Wei Xiangnan thought this elderly expert was the most famous pediatric expert at the Military Medical University. She also knew the female officer behind him, "Director Lan, thank you for your hard work."

The two experts exchanged a few polite words. They already knew the patient's identity when they arrived—General Wei's grandchildren. So they rushed over as soon as they received the order.

Professor Guo said, "General Wei, let's first understand the patient's condition."

The pediatric expert of the Provincial People's Hospital immediately stepped forward, "This is the patient, Tang Haolun. He suddenly fell ill, became unconscious, and had convulsions. After being admitted to the hospital for treatment, he regained consciousness, but his face is severely swollen, and the cause is unknown."

Professor Guo looked at Tang Haolun and noticed that his facial swelling was extremely severe. His head looked like a balloon, and his features were distorted, with his eyes squeezed into slits. Generally, swelling is related to kidney function, so Professor Guo asked, "Have you checked the kidney function?"

"Yes, we did a full biochemical test and an ultrasound, both showing normal kidney function," the pediatric doctor of the Provincial People's Hospital replied.

"During the treatment for unconsciousness, what drugs were used? Have you ruled out drug allergies?" Professor Guo asked again.

"Here is the prescription, Professor Guo, please take a look."

Professor Guo took the prescription and examined it. The drugs were standard and common anticonvulsants, and he had never heard of these drugs causing such severe allergies. He put the prescription away and thought for a moment, "Have you done a vascular angiography? Could it be a local vascular blockage?"

The doctor from the Provincial People's Hospital shook his head, "The patient's facial swelling is severe, and the side effects of vascular angiography are too great, so we didn't dare to do it. However, we did a sonogram and found no issues with the blood vessels."

Professor Guo nodded slightly, "We should also check the lymphatic tissue."

"We have already checked!" The pediatric doctor of the Provincial People's Hospital presented a thick stack of test results, about twenty to thirty pages.

Professor Guo said, "Let's go to the consultation room. I'll review these test results first, and then we'll determine the next steps."

The female officer in military uniform, Director Lan, approached Tang Yingxin, "What's her condition?"

"She started having a fever last night, with chills all over her body. We have already taken measures to reduce the fever, and her temperature has slightly decreased."

Director Lan touched Tang Yingxin's forehead and then her own, "It's not a high fever. Continue the fever reduction measures and see how it goes." She was dissatisfied with the doctor's description of the condition. If it's a fever, chills are normal, so why mention it specifically?

Wei Xiangnan, hearing the doctor's unclear explanation, said, "Xin'er doesn't have a fever, but she shivers even when sleeping and vomits when eating. This has been going on for a long time."

Director Lan took this seriously, "Since it has been going on for a long time, why haven't you taken any treatment measures?"

"Doctor Liao from the 901 Hospital diagnosed it as mild indigestion and psychological suggestion. He prescribed some medication, but it didn't have much effect," Wei Xiangnan explained.

"Since Doctor Liao has already seen her, I don't think he was wrong. Let's continue the medication for a while," Director Lan pondered for a moment and then said, "To be safe, I'll do another examination to see if anything was missed."

"Thank you, Director Lan. It's a bother."

"Not at all, it's my duty!" Director Lan smiled warmly, thinking that if she could cure General Wei's grandchildren, it would certainly help her in her bid for the deputy director position. General Wei would surely speak up for her.

Director Lan beckoned to her assistant and said sternly, "First, do a routine examination for Miss Tang using our own equipment. You must do it personally and not be careless at all."

The doctors from the Provincial People's Hospital collectively felt angry. They thought, "You want to curry favor with someone else, but you don't need to use us as a stepping stone. What do you mean by this? Is it that our equipment is not good enough, or that our staff is not responsible?" All Western medical tests, from equipment to procedures, are standardized. Could using your people and equipment yield different results?

Shao Haibo was also somewhat angry. Even the old man from Beijing didn't have such high demands.

Before everyone could leave the ward, Tang Weiguo and his father led Zeng Yi in.

Wei Xiangnan was surprised and a bit alarmed, "The porridge was cooked so quickly?" She couldn't imagine how fast her husband had driven.

Tang Weiguo didn't have time to explain. Seeing the room full of people, he immediately said, "Please make way. Those not involved in the treatment, please go outside. Let Doctor Zeng come in first."

"Which Doctor Zeng? What a big deal! He comes, and we have to step aside." All the doctors present were unhappy and looked toward the door.

"Junior Brother!" Shao Haibo called out.

Oh my! The doctors from the Provincial People's Hospital collectively drew in a breath. They were glad they hadn't voiced their displeasure, or it would have been disastrous.

"It's Expert Zeng. We'll step out first and let Expert Zeng treat the patient."

Someone shouted, and the doctors from the Provincial People's Hospital immediately nodded and hurried to the door, afraid that if they were late, they would anger Expert Zeng. Zhang Renjie's fate was right before their eyes, and Shao Haibo's promotion was enviable. All of this was thanks to this junior brother, and no one would be foolish enough to offend him.

"Am I disturbing everyone's work?" Zeng Yi, seeing everyone making way for him, felt a bit embarrassed.

"No, no!" The doctors waved their hands, "We were all waiting for Expert Zeng. We feel reassured now that you're here!"

Zeng Yi bowed, "I'll go in first. I'll apologize to everyone after I'm done."

The doctors were pleased. For such a small matter, Expert Zeng was willing to apologize, showing that he still cared about the doctors at the Provincial People's Hospital. Unlike that Director Lan from the Military Medical University, who was arrogant and only knew how to flatter.

Zeng Yi entered and first saw Tang Yingxin.

The little girl saw Zeng Yi and frowned slightly, suddenly saying, "I remember you. I saw you on the train!"

Zeng Yi chuckled, "You're not big, but your memory is great."

The little girl huffed and turned her head, "I'm five years old, so I'm already big!"

Zeng Yi stepped forward, "Oh, maybe I was wrong. Come, turn around and let me take a closer look. Have you grown since the last time I saw you?"

Tang Yingxin, hearing this, turned her head forcefully toward Zeng Yi, her eyes full of anticipation, afraid that Zeng Yi would say she hadn't grown.

"Um, you have grown!" Zeng Yi said, but he was actually observing Tang Yingxin's expression. After a moment, he straightened up and said, "No worries, take ginger juice, and you'll be cured in three doses."

Director Lan, hearing this, immediately said, "Do you know what the illness is? Just take ginger juice? Can ginger cure it?"

The doctors from the Provincial People's Hospital, hearing this, thought, "Here comes the show. This Director Lan is really blind! Three doses to cure, that's already conservative for Expert Zeng. Last time, he cured Director Feng with just one dose."
